21. Sweet strawberry fruit grove

Sweet strawberry fruit grove.

From afar, she smelled the sweet aroma that repeatedly provoked her taste buds, like fruity, like flowers, and faintly mixed with a little caramel boiling.

As Shen Xingchen and his party approached their destination, a forest full of bright fruits came into view

The crystal berries that look like giant sugar balls still hang with morning dew, and they can't help but make the two foodies, Screaming Pony and Phantom Jelly, full of mouths.

The Screaming Pony was immediately feasted on the low-hanging fruit.

Phantom jelly is different,

I can only put my cheek against the inner wall of the iron wall of the bracelet and stare out with my eyes wide and longing, and tears of envy flow from the corners of my mouth at the delicious fruit that is close at hand.

Shen Xingchen saw that the little black horse was eating happily, and he didn't want to beg him to walk a little longer to send her into the depths of the forest with his own hands.

The first jumped off the horse, and gratefully stroked the black and bright mane,

"That's it all here, thank you for giving me this ride,"

"Then I'll go in first..."

With that, she tore open the bag of another brioche bun and placed it in the grass next to the little black horse.

Glancing at the sweet strawberry grove again, he picked up his backpack and walked deeper into the forest.

…….

The smell of the depths of the forest is more fragrant, as if every leaf has been fully impregnated with perfume,

However, it is different from chemical products, and after smelling for a long time, it inexplicably makes people's bodies and minds washed, and it is inexplicable.

Shen Xingchen walked for more than ten minutes, and then she vaguely heard laughter and noise, she squinted and looked, and there were many figures gathered in a small open space of 10 square meters in front of her.

If she weren't counted, there were already 25 students present, either summoning phantom beasts, or waiting alone, like her.

But except for a group of excited students, there is no trace of the extraordinary team members who are the masters.

Just when Shen Xingchen was hanging in his heart, holding his guts,

While carefully noting down the flowers and trees around him, he stepped into the open space where the students were waiting.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound above the fruit forest.

The voice is melodious and low, and the end of each sentence is still a little laughing, which can make people's brains make up that this is a handsome guy with full affinity.

"Hello students of Pear City No. 1 High School, I am the owner of this year's Sweet Strawberry Orchard. First of all, I want to avoid a thunderbolt with you, whether to go or stay, you can listen to it and then make a choice. ”

"One, the duration of this level task is unpredictable, excellent people can solve it in 30 minutes at the earliest, and some people can't clear the level in 2 hours."

"Second, our side is not as tolerant as other levels and can accept challengers to give up halfway, no matter whether you perform a good mission or not, unless you complete the mission, you must stay for 2 hours before you can leave."

"In the end, our team will only give away a total of 6 gold buttons and 10 silver buttons this year."

"You are the first echelon, there are only 2 gold buttons left for you, 3 silver ones, and you will not accept repeated challenges."

"I'm done. Those who want to leave can leave now. ”

Shen Xingchen was slightly surprised in his heart, which means that one-fifth of the people present will waste a lot of time doing day work?

Obviously, the people around her also thought of her, and everyone's expressions were visibly distorted to the naked eye,

Specially came to join in the fun, try your luck to pick up a cheap one, muttered and cursed in his mouth, and decisively turned around and turned back the same way,

There are also teenagers and girls who are not firm enough in their hearts, and after experiencing the ideological struggle in their heads, they still can't bear all kinds of worries and fears about the Guolin level, and they leave after hesitating for a while.

In the end, a handful of 15 people remained in the clearing.

The sound of the glow seemed like a surprise.

"Hmm....15 people? It's time to underestimate your class. ”

"Hayasaki, shut up the forest."

β€œβ€¦..”

"Hayasaki?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It's okay, you keep sleeping. It's good to get enough sleep and do two more sets in tonight's dodge training. ”

The sound was suddenly mixed with the noise of heavy objects toppling over and colliding.

"Don't, don't! Don't be a vice-team! I just deserted a little...."

"Add three sets."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€œ

"I'll lock up the forest!"

"Kato-enchantress!"

"Puten."

The air currents over the sweet strawberry fruit grove surged violently in the blink of an eye, and the blue and clear sky that was clearly visible was replaced by one tough rattan after another.

The overwhelming blue net covered the entire orchard, and even the dazzling sunlight could only enter through the small gaps in a grid.

Shen Xingchen: Don't say it, although it's a little scary, it's weirdly cool.

After the rattan net to prevent students from escaping was arranged, the sound of the slush continued the process of breaking through the level.

"The subject of this level is called ....."

"Berry Kingdom."

"Please look up, watch the slideshow above, and you can act after understanding the rules."

As soon as the words fell, the huge vine net in the sky slowly closed, flattened, stretched and expanded, forming a natural projection curtain.

The content of the illustrated level is projected directly and far above.

[Every berry in the Sweet Strawberry Fruit Forest has a certain chance of living with a wood-based phantom beast, the Berry Fairy. 】

A small humanoid fruit dressed in a small garment of flower petals and covered with fruit peels or young leaves on its head blinks with big eyes and small hands.

Shen Xingchen: Ginseng Fruit !!

Find a way for them to emerge from the fruit and follow you willingly. 】

[Collect enough plum fruit immortals to make a difference.] 】

[Tips: Each berry fairy has different points, and the berry fairy is not necessarily a good citizen. 】

[Customs clearance conditions (choose one of two): 1. Get 1000 berry people's points. 2. Gather two berry royals】

[Whether this level requires phantom beasts: unlimited]

[Individual points scoring criteria: teams score themselves.] 】

[Remaining buttons: Gold +2, Silver +3]

"Oh! That's right. ”

The voice seemed to suddenly remember something important, and opened the microphone to speak unexpectedly.

"The individual points section will be as fair and equitable as possible. In my case, those who work hard will only get a high score, not a low score. ”

"But the number of points is only partially related to the final selection of talents by our team."

"That's all I have to say, please come on."

Shen Xingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief after watching the slideshow,

Fortunately, there is no hard and fast rule that you must carry a phantom beast in this level, otherwise you will have to spend extra time to "hook up" with one to help you fight.

Now the only thing she had to think about was how to get the berry fairies out.

And also

The perfect strategy route she envisioned was to find the Berry Royals in a targeted manner, communicate with them to inquire about their preferences, and accept them as quickly as possible, hand over the errand, end the task and then rush to the next level.

There's a catch, though.....

How do you tell if it's a berry royalty?

Clothes! Color?

Before most of the students, including her, could sort things out.

A small group of five people nearby took the lead,

They pushed and shoved each other, giggling and joking, towards the longest, leafiest berry tree in front of them, which seemed to absorb a lot of soil nutrients.

"Come on Mu Yao~"

In the small group, a girl wearing light makeup took the lead in cheering for the teenager at the front.

Mu Yao: "......"

Everyone saw that Mu Yao had no intention of rejecting, just like obtaining a permission order, and they turned into a large number of parrots who specialized in boasting.

"My brother Yao will definitely do it!"

"Brother Yao stamping!!"

"Brother Yao is the mainstay of the Mu family!"

"Brother Yao's strength is obvious to all..."

"Shut up!"

The leading young man combed his back and exuded an arrogant temperament. Impatiently yelled at the back,

Looking at the atmosphere of the small group, the boy named Mu Yao should be the backbone of this small group.

Even the heavy and expensive leather backpack was naturally thrown to the attendant behind to help carry it.

His eyes swept over the fruit tree in front of him, and then he decisively urged the beast bracelet to summon a rabbit about two meters tall, walking upright on two feet, and his hands were wrapped in white bandages.

Shen Xingchen took a closer look, and found that the light emitted by the bracelet was between red copper and orange copper, and he was a little stunned in his heart: so fast! Is this about to break through?

The electronic sound of the panel also sounded immediately,

[Testing....]

[Dao Heart Rabbit, a fighting phantom beast.] A second-order evolution of the Hand Knife Rabbit. The heart of the martial arts pursued by Zun is an incomparably righteous phantom beast. ]

The onlookers made the calculation that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

While standing still, observing the movements of the flock of birds, they bit each other's ears.

"Wait....the surname Mu? Is it the Mu family I know? ”

"I am in the same junior high school as him, and I heard that others said that it was the son of the elder brother of the Mu family...."

"Isn't that a cousin with Mu Yutang?"

"Mu Yitang? Hehe. Not to mention, the second-oldest achievements in my three-year class ranking in junior high school are all due to that guy! ”

"You're talking about...... That Mu Yitang, who was detected with a special physique, reached the orange and bronze level at the age of 15, his father was the head of the group, and his eldest brother was the auxiliary seat of the [Dreamland] professional team? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦.”

"It's heart-piercing."
